Bookroo's summary

Gruff, Ruff, and Tuff, notorious for their bullying, cross a bridge into a meadow, tormenting a gentle ogre and small creatures. Tired of their antics, the ogre decides it's time to teach these unruly goats a lesson they won't forget. Will the ogre's plan succeed, or will the goats continue their reign of mischief? This playful twist on a classic tale promises laughter and a valuable lesson.

From the publisher

When Gruff, Ruff, and Tuff, bully their way across a bridge and into a meadow–teasing a kind ogre and butting small animals along the way. The ogre, frustrated that being friendly and polite didn’t work, hatches a plan to teach the “bully” goats a lesson. This twist on The Three Billy Goats Gruff is a great read-aloud (and discussion starter) will have kids laughing in the aisles.
